Not sure is this is identified correctly, but age is certainly a friend of this wine. On the nose, we detect kirsch and candied cherries.
The palette, while rich, is not as flamboyant as it was in its youth. Black stone fruits meld with anise and a hint of cloves. Finishes dense and a touch sweet. Wifey rated this as 93 pts. Who am I to argue.

Was my second of two bottles. Opened the first a year ago and was unimpressed. Drank the second last night and time was its friend. Awesome. — 9 years ago

This beautiful 2005 cab was an anniversary gift from a great friend of mine @Jeff Savigny The vintage is the year we got married. The nose is so complex and yet so subdued, it practically blew my mind. A nose full of roses, tobacco, dark fruit and licorice with a hint of molasses and vanilla. On the palate very dry, with a faint aged acidity, yet very rich and delicious. You can spend just as much time smelling this as drinking it. This was a near perfect wine and a great anniversary present! — 11 years ago

Still hanging in there! Such a treat! Thank you to my generous friend John Slattery.! Roasted peanuts, dark soft plummy fruit. Nice acidity. Tannin totally resolved. A little minerally on the lively finish. — 8 years ago

Now we're talking! Restrained nose, but it really takes off from there. Multiple red and black fruit flavors, chocolate and vanilla on the mid palate, baking spiced dark cherries and wet tobacco on the finish. Multi layered- what a wine! — 9 years ago

Nothing like a good bottle of claret after a long hike w/friend. Dont seem to think was a good vintage but w/a good maker—-drinking nicely now. Black currants, cassis, gritty tannins, acidic lift but all integrated. Decant/ pour carefully — 8 years ago

An old friend of mine having been the first bottle of 1st growth claret that I sampled , sometime during 1999. Decent colour lightening at the edges but no more than that. Classic cedar and black currant , touch of truffle perhaps. Not hugely complex though automatically interesting at least. The fruit is quite cool and restrained though there is balance to the tannins and acidity. Decent length too. Overall and enjoyable wine though lacking the complexity and depth of a better vintage — 9 years ago

Friend brought a mag over and this was about the best burger wine anyone could pull from any cellar. Low acid but restrained fruit. I don't drink CA wines often enough, this was a hit. Chocolate, raspberry, very smooth and round mouthfeel. — 10 years ago

Always love Experiment from Ovid. The 2005 was more cab franc dominant and it's showing well with another decade or so left in the tank. — 11 years ago
